Green Goodness

Juicing, is my newest passion not just because it's amazingly cool to do but because of all the healthy advantages. I love feeling the energy I receive after I drink a fresh cup of juice and I especially love that I've lost a few inches while enjoying something I love... It doesn't get much better than that! Toss your hair into a messy bun and get to work! 



My basic and everyday juice consists of the above picture! I indulge in celery, spinach, apples, carrots and oranges... It's delicious and not only do I enjoy it but my little family does also! You may be like "Whhaattt? Kids and vegetables?" and Yes, my daughter loves this drink and will slurp it down in a matter of seconds! 

I use two of everything; it's like the Noah's Arc of juices. And the colors are fabulous! 



Enjoy the rainbow of green deliciousness! 

Sometimes I get  funky and add pineapple or blend it with banana's... but usually my everyday drink is just simple two of everything listed above juiced into a good morning breakfast beverage! I do toss in a lot of spinach not just two handfuls but that is because I need the extra iron for my Anemia... and well nobody seems to care that I go a little crazy with the spinach! :) 

Juicer: Jack LaLanne Power Juicer
Recipe: 
Two stalks celery chopped in large pieces
Two apples halved or quartered
Two whole carrots chopped in half
Two medium oranges peeled and halved
Two large handfuls of spinach (makes the green juice)

Ball the spinach in your hands and put in juicer; I often place an apple or orange over it and then use the utensil to press both down into the blade.
From there continue to juice all ingredients.
Enjoy the finished product over some ice. 

I don't keep mine in the fridge longer than 24 hours.
